Aaron Rodgers is a Jet.
The former Packers quarterback, who was finally traded to his new team on Monday, arrived at the Jets’ practice facility Wednesday morning and will be formally introduced at a 2 p.m. ET press conference.
The 39-year-old veteran QB showed up to his first day wearing a brand new New York hoodie and some aviator sunglasses.
While this trade was in the works for what felt like forever, it was still very jarring to see Rodgers wearing Jets gear.
Rodgers seemed to be in good spirits upon his arrival:

Are we gonna talk about how Aaron Rodgers literally wore aviator sun glasses to his first day with the Jets?
